Laptops tend to be high on many back-to-school shopping lists, so it's not uncommon to find excellent laptop deals this time of year. However, one retailer is kicking things up a notch by discounting not just laptops, but a variety of laptops and desktops powered by Intel processors.  

For a limited time, Best Buy is taking up to $150 off select Intel-powered laptops and desktops (opens in new tab). Students who sign up for Best Buy's deals newsletter (free) will save an extra $100 to $150. Combined, that results in discounts of up to $300. 

Systems that eligible for student discounts are marked as such on their Best Buy product page. All you need to do to get the discount is use your edu-based e-mail to sign up for Best Buy's newsletter. You'll then receive a digital coupon code you can use on student deals.
